Fanatic food, and service. The server was fantastic on recommendation for first timers. The atmosphere was awesome. Definitely worth the wait if there is a line. Kid-friendliness: My daughter loved going and the server was great with her on answering any questions she had.
The quality of ramen here is unmatched for the area! I love the TanTan Men Ramen, can’t go here without ordering it. Their rolls are super fresh and tasty. My favorite to order is their Spicy Tuna Deluxe (specialty roll) and I have tried the Hamachi Belly Specialty Nigiri and it was delicious! Those are my go-tos here. If you want a cocktail to go with your meal, the Toki Lemonade is refreshing and my go-to drink when there. We visit at least twice a month, and Slurping has never let us down. Super friendly service every time also!

TOTORO REVIEWS
Lovely sushi restaurant. The pricing is alright, but it’s very yummy! Portion sizes are comparable to other sushi/Japanese restaurants in downtown Ann Arbor. I’d recommend trying it out if you like sushi. The staff was very kind. It’s a bit crowded for seating, especially if the room is full, but other than that no complaints!
I’ve come from far out of town several times in the last year for this place. You are instantly greeted by the staff; as well as gorgeous My Neighbor Totoro decor! Best sushi spot in Michigan in my opinion. We ordered hot tea, miso soup, the best gyoza around, a crunchy spiced California roll, a Yam Yam specialty roll, and two tempura ice creams. Perfect price points, in comparison to other eats near by. Will be back.
Great Japanese restaurant. Ordered the deluxe bento box for a late Sunday lunch and was very pleased with the variety. The sashimi and veggies were so fresh. The service was fast and friendly when ordering, the server gave us plenty of time to chat and enjoy our meal before bringing the check. Will be coming back.

YOTSUBA JAPANESE RESTAURANT & BAR REVIEWS
Awesome food and great service. I was impressed by the fresh and high quality sushi (not cold like many other places). We have tried Shrimp fried rice which was really good.
We ordered the volcano roll, amazing roll, crunchy shrimp, Hawaii roll, Alaska roll, salmon and avocado roll, and the tuna roll. The volcano and the amazing roll were the best. Highly recommend them!! Our least favorite were the Hawaii and the Alaska rolls. The tuna and salmon rolls were just okay. The service was great too. Highly recommend this place.
They serve quality food. The food was so tasty that even my kid who is a picky eater said it was “yummy”. Very friendly staff. It was our first time going there and it was worth it. We will be making more trips back for sure !
